EnglishPersonally, I would have liked to have more on diseases. Personally, I would have liked to have more on diseases. The information seemed pretty up-to-date.I believe it would be easy for a student to follow along. I did not see any issues with consistency. I like the bold words, pictures, videos, tables, etc. I believe a student could follow along and read it without difficulties. The Human Biology course that I teach mostly consists of non majors so that is my lens. I would move immune system up and reproductive to the end with nervous and special senses. I tend to do digestive and urinary together so I would have them by each other. In my current textbook, I have to jump around so that is not an issue for me. The images (pictures and tables) are good quality. It is well-structured and easy to follow. There was a table on blood typing regarding ethnic groups and percentages. I am not going to rate lower because I do not see many cultural references in my current textbook either. I did like the everyday connections. You could make an assignment from these questions or use for active learning purposes. Also, all of the video links that I clicked on worked and they were very informative. I did not try to use the QR codes. I really liked that it was simple, clear, and aligned well. It seemed to be accessible and could be used with screen readers. I would verify with your institution. I really liked that there were Art Connections (describes some of the more complex illustrations and concepts), Careers in Action (exactly what it sounds like), and there were some tutorials available. I do try to relate to everyday or real life and this textbook does do that. I may need to add a few more examples. Ultimately, I really liked the OpenStax textbook and I would like to adopt it. Unfortunately, I use other resources with my textbook that I would still need to have.

If you are able to collaborate with someone, you could make your own active learning assignments, assessments, etc. This could be a great option that is free for the student and you do not have to make changes when a new edition comes out. As well, I don't see coverage of integumentary system or development.As well, I don't see coverage of integumentary system or development.Also development with the Reproductive System. As above, would also like to see a chapter on the Integumentary System. As well, I don't see coverage of integumentary system or development.Page numbering needs updating -- e.g., TOC says Immune System starts on p. 401, while it actually starts on p. 409. The book covers basic introductory cell biology concepts such as metabolism, and cell division and then does a system-by-system discussion of the human body. The book includes a glossary in each chapter and an overall index. My only criticism of the index in this way is the modules are printed in the same line and font as the page number, making it somewhat harder to see the page number if that's what you're looking for. Perhaps a different font or bolding might help this. One thing to note is this text is really a lecture-only text. If you need a text that can also be used for lab work such as labeling bones or muscles, for example, this text would not have the anatomical detail for that kind of use. You would need to supplement this book if you wished to use it in a lab-based setting. Topics that most of us as teachers would likely cover are accurate in what they present and at the level this book targets. My reason for only giving it a three is partly because I didn't read every topic in depth, so I can't guarantee how accurate certain topics may be. Also, accuracy depends somewhat on the level of detail and discussion, and because that varies by chapter, it's hard to pinpoint how accurate a paragraph would be if the topic was elaborated on a bit more. Why mechanisms are there?
http://eduteklabs.com/userfiles/dresser-wayne-ovation-installation-manual.xml
-- and so it's a bit hard to qualify the overall accuracy if the statements are sometimes a big vague.Any areas that might need adjustment over time, such as the genetics topics, can easily be changed out due to the modular nature of the book. The topics (chapters) are broken down into discrete modules so a teacher could alter or substitute a module to match current updates or to stress an aspect of that topic that isn't part of the current text. For my classes, I could see myself adding a module in the immunity section over allergies and tolerance and in the genetics section on epigenetics. Detracting from the writing is detail level, inconsistent bolding of words, and references in the text that should either have a picture to illustrate what's being talked about. For example, in the vestibular module of the special senses unit, the semi-circular canals are the only bolded word. Why not otoliths or utricle and saccule. Also, while the action of the vestibular system is described quite well, there is not diagram or animation link to show how these structure work to provide balance. If I were a visual learner, a picture would really help me here. I understand this book was an amalgam of three different texts, so a little disjointedness is expected and visible in the text. Some modules are illustrated well and somewhat detailed while others have one image only over a two-page section. The sections dealing with cell biology (the first part) are more unified as a whole in format than the anatomy sections. The anatomy sections vary considerably. For example, the skeletal system module is quite good (at least for my class use). The reproductive system, by contrast, seem weak and lacks the images and clarity of the skeletal. As stated in another review, there are differences in how things are referenced in the text and how words are chosen to bold (or not), and other subtle editing choices.
Overall, though, I don't think a student would find each module distracting; just the overall book as a whole if one were to read it from cover-to-cover. The use of topic summaries, problem sets, and sub-topics is done in a way that enable modularity. While I disagree somewhat on the placement of topics within the whole book--for example, I would skeletal system earlier in the book--I can't fault the choices made by the author.Some diagrams were entire pages while others were small. Some had narrative captions of (excessive) length while others were just labels. While it didn't confuse me in terms of what was being shown, it did cause me to pause and ask if the pictures were the right ones in the right place or if others could have been better choices. There were some editorial choices (such as using abbreviations for some words but not others) that could be more consistent. In my copy, there were some format decisions (such as paragraph length, picture layout, and sentence structure) that, although not wrong, did seem to vary enough to notice the lack of pattern. I especially enjoy this book's teaching of basic science concepts in the beginning for those classes of mine that require basic science skills in addition to human biology. Five chapters are predominantly discipline- or topic-focused: Chapter 1 on the Scientific Method, Chapter 2 on. Five chapters are predominantly discipline- or topic-focused: Chapter 1 on the Scientific Method, Chapter 2 on Chemistry and Life, Chapter 4 on DNA and Gene Expression, Chapter 6 on Energy Considerations, and Chapter 13 on Mitosis and Meiosis. Each chapter has a glossary but the book lacks an index. Even though many topics generally considered to be encompassed in Human Biology are included here, the treatment of them is generally unintegrated into the larger contexts of evolutionary biology, ecology, human life cycle adaptation, and normal physiological adaptations. Areas that are left out of this text include.
Principles of Evolution chapter in which one would have desired to have a discussion of the important topic of individual variation in anatomy and physiology within populations, effects of natural selection, especially as related to health and disease, biogeography, and the origins of life and the human lineage. Development and Aging is an area that is not treated in this book, including embryogenesis, placental structure and function, the human life cycle, life span, and congenital malformations. Principles of Ecology are not touched upon here, including structure of human populations, effects of population growth, effects of air and water quality on human health, human land use and biology, and human effects of the loss of global biodiversity. The topics that are covered can be uneven. For example, there are in-depth details given on the Scientific Method, on Myocardial Infarction, and in lengthy topic boxes on selected careers in health care, while many applications to contemporary research issues in Human Biology, normal heart innervation in physiological adaptation, and other career options that also draw upon Human Biology are not included. It is weaker on evolutionary theory. Special Senses are not dealt with in the book until Chapter 18. A student would find this confusing. Content is least accurate in the realm of Anatomy. There are a number of minor errors that are perhaps just more distracting than of major impact. However, these are most noticeable in:The text does not deal as thoroughly with Genomics as one would like even though there are lengthy discussions of the traditional genetic topics of mitosis and meiosis and DNA replication. These sections could be revised to include more recent research findings, for example, on oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and homeobox genes. There is good use of analogy to get concepts across. Difficult concepts such as acid-base balance in Chapter 3 and glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle in Chapter 7 were well done.
There are minor technical issues with text consistency. The references to figures in the various chapters vary. The other chapters did not. Some chapters had a summary of what a student would learn, roughly tantamount to objectives.The sequence that systems are taught in a particular course could readily use most chapters in a different arrangement. The rationale of why the digestive system is the first system to be discussed (Chapter 5) is less obvious but each system is largely treated by itself so the sequence of systems was probably considered not of great concern. I was surprised somewhat to come upon a chapter on Mitosis and Meiosis (Chapter 13), at the the cellular level, in between chapters on the Urinary and Reproductive organ systems, until I realized there was a reproductive connection. The art in this text is quite clear, interpretable, and well done. Several loaded but had no content. This can be distracting. An instructor using this textbook for a Human Biology class but desiring a more expansive biological purview that would encompass ev-devo, ecological, and genomic perspectives would have to provide this content on their own. Students will find that this textbook offers a strong introduction to human biology in an accessible format. Our payment security system encrypts your information during transmission.

Robert Denton 4.0 out of 5 stars However, at some points it seems like they just stop teaching. There are places where they have gone into lengthy explanations about certain key aspects of a subject, but then quickly breeze over other key aspects of the same subject. This was especially frustrating when the instructor was teaching right out of the teacher's manual and there was an in depth question about something the book explained once in one sentence. Overall, this is a decent book. The index and glossary are very helpful for looking up terms when studying. Also, the student website is very helpful and has a lot of additional information and study aides. My biggest gripe is the price of the book. However, if you want to pass your Bio class, chances are, you need the book. - Cheers!I appreciate being able to save money on textbooks.It contains tons of very useful information.

Marina Ginzberg 5.0 out of 5 stars I started my medicine self-studying a few years ago. My first book was Human Biology. This 13th edition was a new one. Despite the fact that it was absolutely new field of knowledge for me, the book was surprisingly readable, understandable and even interesting. All medical terming was thoroughly explained. Moreover, I’ve filled the authors love their profession and distribute their love all around entire book. Since then I’ve read a lot of medicine literature in a few languages. Many times some books give you deep detailing, without “a big picture”. So even these days I use this book and many times I can found inside some missing info.
Even today I don’t understand how it possible to put so extensive vast info in one book; this is why I call this book an art. Today exists 14th edition; I am intrigued what can be improved there comparison to 13th. Dear authors! I just would like to say thank you for your great book!It's packed to the gills with more information than you'll EVER want to retain in your own lifetime. Too many inconsistencies and too many unorganized visualizations and redundancies of information within the book for any single person to keep track of or memorize. This book made learning one of the most painful experiences I've had in years.Each chapter literally can't make it through a sentence without introducing a new term you need to learn. This is not an easy-to-digest text. I wouldn't recommend it.It wasn't a mandatory book, but I still read it, because the book was well written and easy to understand. It had all the information that I needed to know.Content is good. Have not compared the content to Campbell's textbook so can't comment on accuracy. Great for it's price.
